When Jessica meets her little newborn sister for the first time, things don't go exactly as planned. Jessica starts out saying "Wow!" because the baby has tiny fingers—"They good! They good!" she answers when her mommy asks if she likes them. Then she moves on to comment on the baby's tiny toes in wonder.

But soon the baby gets fussy, and starts to sob. Jessica is visibly uncomfortable for a quick second, and then starts to comfort the baby by saying, "You okay! You okay! You okay!" For some almost magical reason, this does just the trick, and the baby suddenly stops crying.

The video cuts to Jessica's mom holding her newborn, who again starts to cry. Mom asks Jessica, "Can you talk to her?" and the toddler immediately starts repeating, "You okay! You okay! You fine, you fine, you fine!" Just like that, the baby becomes totally silent, as if mystified by the curly-headed blond girl in front of her.

While every parent is probably wishing "You fine!" would help calm down their own baby, our hunch is that the tot's effect on the newborn had very little to do with what she actually said. As young as she is, there's a good chance the baby can tell that she has one pretty amazing big sister. And with her sibling by her side, she knows that she will, in fact, be just "fine."
